Chapter 3172
"Fully fed and watered, nothing happened," EIlar leaned back in his seat, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The assistant ventured, "He hasn't discovered anything, has he?"
"No, it doesn't seem like he's noticed anything yet," Ellar confidently stated. "He even warned me as he was leaving, giving me three days."
"Three days, but what will he do after that?" the assistant inquired.
Ellar shrugged. "Guess he'll start threatening me then." Everett had only talked about wanting to collaborate this time and hadn't mentioned anything about the seal. Ellar could only continue to pretend he didn't know the seal was missing and wait. In three days, when Everett shows up with the fake seal, Ellar plans to strip him of everything.
Time flowed swiftly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Nicole and Jared arrived at the dining room as usual.
"Mom, Dad," Nicole greeted before sitting down with Jared.
"Daddy, Mommy," Nolan and Lana sweetly called out to the two.
Nicole, with eyes full of love, ruffled the little ones' heads. "Let's eat up. After that, Dad and Mommy will take you to kindergarten."
Stanley and Tia had planned to take their prewedding photos today, so Nicole didn't want to trouble Tia with dropping off the kids. She wanted them to head over early to get ready.
"Okay,” Nolan and Lana obediently began to eat.
"Nicole, has the company been keeping you busy lately?" Gloria asked Nicole.
Nicole replied, "It's been okay. Mom, do you ask for a reason?"
"Oh, if there's nothing pressing, I was thinking maybe Steve doesn't have to go to the office. Sally's due date is approaching, and I'm worried if she suddenly goes into labor, Steve should be there with her," Gloria explained.
"Alright, I'll discuss it with Sean and take over all of Steve's work," Nicole agreed.
The handover process had already been initiated, and Steve's workload had significantly decreased. His departure now wouldn't pose any problems.
"That's a relief," Gloria felt somewhat more at ease.
Even though they had hired someone to look after Sally, and she would visit, having Steve by her side at this time was preferable.
After all, no one could be by Sally's side as constantly and supportively as Steve could.
After breakfast, Nicole and Jared said their goodbyes and left with Nolan and Lana.
Stanley glanced at the time and stood up. "Dad, Mom, I should be going too."
"Alright, go ahead," Gloria responded with a smile.
After picking up Tia, Stanley also left the Riddle residence for the prearranged location to take their prewedding photos.
Back at home, Gloria breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, I can relax."
With Stanley and Tia's wedding plans set and Sally likely to give birth soon, she was about to become a grandmother.
Seeing the children doing well, she could envision a future filled with joy and grandparental bliss. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"You wont have to worry about the kids anymore," Daniel glanced at Gloria. "How about we go on a world tour?"
"I'm not going," Gloria immediately declined.
Daniel was puzzled. "Why not?"
"This is not the time for me to go anywhere. Stanley is about to have his wedding, and Sally is about to give birth. Of course, I can't go anywhere," Gloria stated firmly.
Daniel couldn't help but laugh. "Of course, I know that. What I meant was, after all these events are over, we should go out and relax a bit."
